Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Sutton

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Sutton provides removal, transport, delivery, and related services to customers. By making a booking, accepting a quotation, or allowing the service to commence, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before placing a booking for a man with van service in Sutton or any similar moving, collection, or delivery job.

These terms are written to be clear and practical, and they apply to all domestic and commercial work unless a separate written agreement says otherwise. They are intended to protect both the customer and the service provider by setting out what is expected from each party. In these terms, references to we, us, and our mean the provider of the Man With Van Sutton service, while references to you and your mean the customer, hirer, or person making the booking.

We reserve the right to update these terms from time to time. The version in force at the time of booking will apply unless a later written agreement is made. Any variation must be agreed in writing by both parties. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law where those rights apply.

1. Booking process

All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation. A booking request may be made by phone, email, online form, message, or any other accepted method. When you request a quotation, you must provide accurate details about the move or collection, including the pickup and delivery locations, the type and quantity of items, access conditions, parking restrictions, stairs, lifts, time constraints, and any special handling requirements. Quotes for van and man Sutton jobs are normally based on the information supplied at the time of enquiry.

Any quotation given is an estimate unless expressly stated to be fixed. If the actual job differs from the information provided, we may revise the price, timing, vehicle size, staffing, or service method to reflect the change. A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted the job and, where required, received any deposit or advance payment. Until confirmation is issued, availability cannot be guaranteed. If the customer fails to provide essential information, we may be unable to complete the service safely or efficiently.

2. Customer responsibilities

You must ensure that all goods to be moved are ready at the agreed time and that the premises are accessible. This includes arranging suitable parking, lift access, entry permissions, and any permits that may be needed. You are also responsible for ensuring that items are properly packed unless packing has been agreed as part of the service. Fragile items, valuables, and items requiring specialist handling should be declared in advance. The Man With Van Sutton team may refuse to move items that are unsafe, illegal, improperly packed, or likely to cause damage.

You must tell us about any items that are excessively heavy, awkward, dangerous, contaminated, or subject to special rules, including appliances, chemicals, gas cylinders, batteries, or waste. If you fail to disclose such matters and additional work or safety precautions are required, extra charges may apply. We are entitled to rely on the accuracy of the information you provide. Delays caused by incorrect information, blocked access, or incomplete loading may be charged at the applicable waiting or additional labour rate.

3. Payments

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking or in the quotation. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due on completion of the job and before unloading, or immediately upon receipt of an invoice. For larger bookings, deposits or part payments may be required in advance to secure the vehicle and crew. We may also require cleared funds before commencing work for first-time customers, commercial clients, or short-notice services.

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. Any parking charges, tolls, congestion charges, waiting time, access fees, disposal fees, or additional labour caused by circumstances outside our control may be added to the final invoice. If payment is not made on time, we may suspend further work, withhold delivery, or charge reasonable interest and recovery costs where permitted by law. The customer remains responsible for all sums due, including those arising from a man with a van Sutton booking that overran or changed on the day.

We accept only the payment methods notified to you in advance. Cash, bank transfer, card payment, or other methods may be available depending on the job. Any bank charges or failed payment fees caused by your payment provider are your responsibility. A receipt or invoice may be issued electronically unless paper documentation is specifically requested and agreed.

4. Cancellations and postponements

Cancellations must be made as soon as possible. If you cancel after the booking has been accepted, cancellation fees may apply. The closer the cancellation is to the scheduled time, the greater the likely charge, because the vehicle, driver, and crew may have been reserved and unavailable for other work. Where a deposit has been paid, it may be retained in full or in part to cover lost time and administration costs, unless a refund is required by law.

If you request a postponement, we will try to accommodate a new date subject to availability. However, a change of date may be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and a new booking thereafter. We may cancel or reschedule a booking if access is unsafe, weather conditions create a serious risk, the address details are materially incorrect, or circumstances beyond our control prevent us from attending. In such cases, we will aim to offer an alternative time or refund any payment due for undelivered services, but we will not be liable for indirect losses.

5. Liability and damage

We will take reasonable care while carrying out your move, delivery, or collection. However, liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We are not responsible for damage caused by items that were inadequately packed, already damaged, unstable, or unsuitable for transport. We are also not liable for damage arising from normal wear and tear, unavoidable movement during transit, or instructions given by you against our advice. The scope of a Man With Van Sutton job is limited to the services agreed, and any extra tasks must be expressly approved.

Where we are legally liable for loss or damage, our responsibility will normally be limited to the lower of the repair cost, replacement value, or the amount recoverable under any applicable insurance, subject to the terms of that cover. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. You should ensure that your own insurance arrangements are sufficient for items of high value, sentimental value, or irreplaceable importance.

We are not responsible for delays caused by traffic, road closures, weather, accidents, third-party actions, or events beyond our reasonable control. We will not accept liability for losses resulting from lost earnings, business interruption, missed appointments, or consequential loss unless required by law. Any claim for damage must be reported promptly and, where possible, before the goods are moved from the delivery point.

6. Waste regulations and prohibited items

Where the service includes disposal, clearance, or removal of unwanted items, all waste will be handled in accordance with applicable UK waste legislation, duty of care requirements, and environmental rules. You must clearly state whether the items are waste, reusable goods, or mixed loads. Misdescribing waste can create legal and operational issues, and we may refuse to carry any load that appears unlawful, hazardous, or improperly declared. The man with van Sutton service may be used for lawful removals and collections only.

We may require evidence of the origin, type, or destination of waste where necessary. Certain items, including asbestos, clinical waste, hazardous chemicals, solvents, gas cylinders, oil, and some electrical equipment, may require specialist handling or separate disposal arrangements. You must not place banned or restricted materials in the load unless we have explicitly agreed to transport them and such transport is lawful. Any costs, fines, or claims arising from incorrect declaration of waste by you may be charged to you in full.

If we undertake a clearance job, you authorise us to sort, load, transport, and dispose of waste lawfully using licensed facilities or approved recycling channels as appropriate. Reusable items may be donated, recycled, or otherwise handled where this has been agreed. We may decline any item we believe would breach waste regulations, health and safety requirements, or our insurance conditions. You remain responsible for providing accurate information about the nature of the items being removed.

7. Access, loading, and timing

You must ensure that the agreed pickup and drop-off points are reasonably accessible at the scheduled time. If parking, entry, or loading is delayed, we may charge waiting time or extra labour. We are not responsible for delays caused by lack of access, unavailable keys, blocked driveways, unsuitable road conditions, or building rules. If the job cannot proceed because access is impossible or unsafe, we may treat the booking as cancelled by you and charge accordingly.

Estimated times of arrival are provided in good faith, but they are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in writing. The service may be delayed by traffic, weather, or prior jobs. Where we attend within a reasonable period and the delay is outside our control, you agree not to treat the job as failed. If you need a specific time slot, this must be made clear at the time of booking and accepted by us in writing. A Man With Van Sutton booking is arranged on the basis of practical scheduling, not fixed delivery promises unless agreed.

8. Insurance and customer property

We may hold appropriate insurance cover for public liability and, where applicable, goods in transit. The existence or extent of cover does not change the liability limits set out in these terms. You should check whether your own home, contents, business, or specialist insurance applies to your items during loading, transit, and unloading. We are not insurers of the goods beyond the cover and limits expressly stated by contract or policy.

It is your responsibility to remove cash, jewellery, documents, keys, passports, medicines, and other personal or sensitive items before the move begins. We are not liable for loss of items that were not disclosed, not packed appropriately, or left unsecured. If you ask us to move high-value items, you must tell us in advance so that we can decide whether the item can be carried safely and lawfully. We may refuse to handle any item that is likely to create an unacceptable risk.

9. Governing law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a man with van service Sutton booking, quotation, payment, cancellation, liability issue, or waste-related matter will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory consumer law provides otherwise. If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

Nothing in these terms is intended to limit rights that cannot be excluded under UK law. If there is any conflict between these terms and a written agreement signed by both parties, the written agreement will prevail to the extent of the conflict. By booking or using the service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these conditions in relation to the services provided by Man With Van Sutton.

These terms are intended to be fair, lawful, and consistent with standard UK service practice. They should be read alongside any quotation, invoice, or written service specification supplied for your job. If you are unsure about any part of the agreement, you should raise the matter before the booking is confirmed so that expectations are clear on both sides.
